SOE asks whether your FPS measures up to PlanetSide 2
Can your FPS do this? That's the question of the day as posed by Sony Online Entertainment. It's in reference to the firm's newly released PlanetSide 2 opus, of course, and if the accompanying trailer is any indication, all of the shooters not named PlanetSide or PlanetSide 2 are doomed to answer with an emphatic "no." The clip is short, but it packs nearly everything that's unique about PS2 into its compact running time. Aerial combat? Check. Infantry and ground vehicle combat? Check. Persistent battles on huge continents and plenty of oh-wow-only-in-PlanetSide moments? Check and check. See the trailer in its entirety after the cut. [Source: SOE press release]
PlanetSide 2 fan trailer delivers fan service
Sony Online Entertainment hasn't shown much in the way of PlanetSide 2 video footage aside from the GDC demo and a recent alpha clip, so anxious fans are turning to their own devices in order to get their three-faction open-world sci-fi fix. A user named Nax has cut together a two-minute clip and posted it on both YouTube and the PlanetSide Universe forums. The short makes good use of the alpha video as well as some pre-existing teaser trailer footage in order to showcase PS2's frenetic action and large environments. We also get a stirring soundtrack compliments of Thomas Bergersen (one half of the prolific trailer-music duo known as Two Steps from Hell). Check out the goods after the break.
